Wacom tablet does not work in Qt

I’m at Deventer, we are having Krita sprint. I’m trying to implement some new stuff in Krita and I can’t :'( Tablet stopped to work for me in Krita and basically in Qt. I don’t see tablet events (qt example in widgets/tablet does not show anything), so no pressure, no tilt, just mouse events.

I have Fedora 12, Qt 4.6.2. linuxwacom was replaced by xorg-x11-drv-wacom, so there are no utilities like wacdump or xidump now.I removed old configuration lines in xorg.conf. They were needed long time ago, I used to setup my tablet according wacom tablet. I depend on the evdev now. The tablet work in mypaint and in Gimp. I have pressure support there.

I don’t have tablet pressure in Qt example in qt4/examples/widgets/tablet nor in Krita.

So it looks ok. Have you got idea how to fix it? It seems that it is Fedora issue, other Krita developers
have working tablet support out of the box in the OpenSuse. I checked if the tablet support is compiled in Fedora, it is.

Krita hackers are offering me CD of OpenSuse. I like my Fedora, I don’t give up so far…Please, help if you can 😉

Sven Langkamp has also this same problem as I do, he is also on Fedora 12 these days.

You’ve already been offered help, because people already wanted to give you free openSUSE CDs.
If you turn them down, don’t complain that it doesn’t work for you.
Fedora is a beta test distro for Red Hat Enterprise so it’s not even expected to work.

Switching to xf86-input-wacom-0.10.4-1 fixed the problem in Archlinux. Stylus right and middle click are working correctly on the canvas
But now there is a new problem, pressure doesn’t work anymore (but it works in gimp, so similar problem than before).

Qt 4.6.0 is the first to check for the XAtoms, it uses the names you pasted, so that should work. (see qt/src/gui/kernel/qapplication_x11.cpp line 318).
So, yes, the Qt documentation is out of date.

It still is useful to have the library installed called “wacomcfg” because on X11 the wacom driver doesn’t give the full amount of information that you’d like in an application like Krita. For example each individual pen has a unique serial number. So you can have 5 different pens of the exact same type, if you want and Krita would see them as individual pens and remember the settings you used per pen.
This, however, only works if you install wacomcfg.

Got exactly the same problem with TabletPC hp tx2500z. After update to F12, sensitivity just stopped working. Going to follow this and the bug reports.

@Markus: Would you reinstall [your_favorite_distro_here] just because (for example) your media keys don’t work in that and they do in [pick_another_distro]? Now that’s a solution, really. It’s clearly distro’s fault –> bug –> bugs need to be solved. And I mean actually solved, not by changing your distro (we would probably soon run out of distros following your way). Oh yeah and opensuse is a beta version of novell’s enterprise suse linux, right?
